Track company appearances in editorial coverage

Use the supplied, authorized copies to prepare the requested private draft or local artifact. Keep proposed changes as drafts.

Inputs: [INPUT_PACKET] and [OWNER_RULES]. Process only the minimum data I am authorized to use here. Ask if authorization or essential input is missing. Synthetic examples are optional; do not substitute invented data for my actual task.

Required input contents:
- Search scope: Industry and date range. State excluded source types and retain the date checked.
- Article evidence: article excerpts. Keep article identity and attribution separate from an entity’s official website.

Use uploaded copies first. Before any later connected access, verify that the connector is available, the correct account is connected, and the exact read-only scope is authorized. Otherwise ask for an export. Do not create connections or assume that a named tool exists.

Procedure:
Search within my industry/date scope, exclude press releases, extract named speakers and organizations, and group duplicate stories before counting appearances.
For this review, retain links and compact factual paraphrases rather than republishing articles or long quotations.
Attach each entity to supporting article evidence.
Keep unresolved attribution out of totals.
If this issue appears: Two syndicated copies are counted as two independent editorial appearances.
Preserve both links but group equivalent stories for a reviewer-defined counting rule.
If this issue appears: A person quotes another organization’s release without endorsing its claims.
Separate quoted speaker, represented organization and mentioned entity; hold ambiguous relationships.

Output:
Article-to-entity evidence rows and unresolved attributions.
Return separate local review files when available, otherwise equivalent structured text in this chat. Label each artifact as a draft and each simulated state as simulated. Explain what you could not inspect or produce; do not report an artifact as created without evidence.

Cite the file and page, row, clause or record ID supporting every finding. Preserve raw values and distinguish observation, calculation and inference. Keep contradictions and missing evidence visible. Do not invent facts, compatibility, completed actions or successful tests.

Separate approval is required for:
Connect a private reporting sheet, write coverage rows or distribute the register. Keep the result private and draft-only. Before any external send, upload, live change, spend or commitment, show the exact action, target, content or data and consequences, then wait for separate approval. This prompt does not authorize those actions.
Coverage records cannot establish publication reach, influence, sentiment or sales intent without separate evidence.

Select and copy the text manually if automatic copying is unavailable.

Inputs, access and approval

Inputs:

Search scope: Industry and date range
Article evidence: article excerpts

Approval: Connect a private reporting sheet, write coverage rows or distribute the register. Keep the result private and draft-only. Before any external send, upload, live change, spend or commitment, show the exact action, target, content or data and consequences, then wait for separate approval. This prompt does not authorize those actions.

Use uploaded inputs first. Confirm scoped authorization before using a read-only connection. Missing inputs or access require an upload or clarification.

The problem

Company appearances in reporting are scattered.

Suggested task · untested

Proposed: prepare an attributed coverage register.

What you could produce

Article-to-entity evidence rows and unresolved attributions.

Suggestions and their limits

Describes the proposed purpose and review output; measured benefit and successful delivery are not established.

Editorial synthesis based on the linked source. This framing does not add evidence of successful delivery or results.

Before you try it · suggestions untested

Proposed safeguards and fictional checks are not vendor capabilities or execution evidence. Source-shaped descriptions remain charged to the linked original.

Why use this

Entity-level rows support coverage review.
Source type affects interpretation.

Why an agent / simpler alternative

Useful judgment: Separate editorial reporting from promotional releases.
Simpler alternative: Use a licensed media-monitoring export when its coverage and entity fields already meet the review need.
Unsuitable when: Access is denied, publication dates cannot be established, or the intended use requires completeness that search results cannot support.

Expected deliverable and review checks

Proposed artifact: Article-to-entity evidence rows and unresolved attributions.
Critical checks: Attach each entity to supporting article evidence.
Keep unresolved attribution out of totals.
Missing output evidence: Unknown: no configured agent, actual output or successful run was inspected.

First check — proposed, unexecuted

Status: proposed_unexecuted
Synthetic fixture: Fictional articles A and B repeat one syndicated story. A names two similarly spelled organizations; one mention lacks a clear speaker.
Acceptance checks: Group A and B; hold the ambiguous attribution.
Keep each evidence link while leaving audience size and commercial intent unknown.
Produce a local review sheet; fetch no publisher content and write no external rows.
Stop conditions: A publisher denies access or protected content requires a bypass.
The output implies endorsement, exhaustive coverage or verified audience reach.

Tasks: Writing & content

Useful for: General use

Editorial relevance from the title and source-supported actions; not evidence of the operator’s occupation.

Failure handling, costs and limits

Failure signals and proposed responses

Signal
Two syndicated copies are counted as two independent editorial appearances.
Why it matters
The report could overstate reach and independent attention.
Proposed response
Preserve both links but group equivalent stories for a reviewer-defined counting rule.
Signal
A person quotes another organization’s release without endorsing its claims.
Why it matters
A mere mention could be misreported as endorsement or the person’s own statement.
Proposed response
Separate quoted speaker, represented organization and mentioned entity; hold ambiguous relationships.

Effort and cost — unknown

Setup work: Define coverage inclusion rules.
Ongoing review: Check ambiguous attributions.
Unknowns: Unknown: licensed access charges, search omissions, review effort and refresh costs.

Limits

Coverage records cannot establish publication reach, influence, sentiment or sales intent without separate evidence.
